One thing did not mention is that the actual RAM is ridiculously and I mean ridiculously low. Even Android phones come with 64GB or more of RAM and if you using it as a proper work machine you're not going to get by with just 16 GB of RAM trust me. So for that reason I think it's a non starter for a work machine which is a shame.

Meh. Still not the perfect Chrome OS device I was hoping for. They got the software right by now, from what I've seen the hardware looks decent, but every single device out there seems to be suffering from at least one major shortcoming that ruins it. Don't pull that Apple pricing shit with the type cover. Microsoft takes $99 or $129 for their surface type covers, and that's fucking expensive as it is. Also, no headphone jack? No SD card slot with only 64GB of internal storage (unless you want to pay at least $999 for a 128GB version)? Please don't make this a habit.

I was really looking forward to this product until I found out it's $599 for the Celeron and not even M3. Kind of disappointing to see all of the big electronic giants really overpricing everything. (Galaxy Tab S4, iPhone 10S, etc). 2018 seems to be the year for mid-range product companies like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Huawai who are taking the lead now.

Wait and see to be sure, but it seems very likely that all the same software will run on the HP x2 as on the Slate, when or soon after the Slate is actually released. The x2 with 64MB or 128MB storage at $599 would be awesome, but 32 MB is really crippling for Android and Linux usage since Chrome OS also uses a chunk of that space.

Can't really multitask since apps will close in the background and restart when you pull them up again.

How is this device better than HP Chromebook X2? X2 starts at $599 with an m3 processor with a keyboard whereas the cheapest pixel slate is run by Celeron and two hundred dollars more expensive (starting price of $599 is really deceiving since you really need a keyboard for this one) I'm disappointed. Although I'm a big Chromebook fan, the surface pro is much more cost effective.

+Hongmin Ahn Maybe they tried, but an m3 in such a thin device might cause overheating. Its possible that a Celeron is enough for Chrome OS. If Slate runs chrome browser better than the surface go despite the modest processing power, that justifies the price. It is running on Chrome OS afterall (not windows). The only way to tell is by trying it out to see if it runs more smoothly in comparison. People complain about how Chrome browser runs terribly on the surface go and I stopped looking at it altogether. If you could somehow install Chrome OS on a surface go...😖

I think it should have at least m3 for the base model. Putting a Celeron with bare rams and storage in supposedly a "premium device made by Google" is inexcusable.

Really nice piece of hardware. I have a 7y old Dell Inspiron that I got updated in the last couple of years, it's moving decent with 8 gb of ram and a 240 gb ssd but when this will die it will be replaced most likely with a Chrome OS laptop, maybe a Google branded one. Google did a lot of work on this OS and to be honest for home use at least it could easily replace a Windows device, you got pretty much all you need. Microsoft needs to do something because this is catching speed, I wouldn't be surprised if Chrome OS will be considered a solution even for enterprise PCs with all being back-up in the cloud.

Iulian Moise Hi there, I been using Chrome OS for around seven years or maybe less, and little by little google Chrome OS has been around in the Education Industry’s , teachers and students in many institutions in the U.S use every day. I can tell you for sure that some industries will start using it in a near future. Especially for two important things IMO the type of Cloud back up google chrome have and the free Google suite docs, sheets and slides. for a half price that Microsoft Office is sell for consumers and enterprises. some Windows and Macs users (can’t mention Linux because I never used one honestly) are skeptical to use Chrome OS.... but I guess it does the job.... 🤝🤝

+Nadeem Shaikh Windows is a terrible OS for tablets. With ChromeOS you get the user friendly feel of android on mobile for the tablet and when docked you get the productivity gains like you would from Windows through ChromeOS apps and Android apps (G suite, Office, etc). So if you want a tablet that you can still use to get work done, then I think it's the Pixel Slate. Fits my use case and I'll probably pick up the i5 variant in a few months once the inevitable software issues are ironed out.

Or just get an x2, it has a headphone jack, an m3, and is $300 less if you want a keyboard and stylus.

Will the Chrome OS work in desktop mode without the keyboard?

Will watch this when I get home. My initial impression - better than the HP X2 but inferior to these high-quality convertibles coming out. Why no headphone jack and why the weird circular keys? I'm curious to see if this video changes my impression.

Great video. I've noticed from the videos about the Slate on YouTube that it seems to be a fingerprint magnet. A little disappointing for a premium flagship device.
